Plucking The Last Feathers

The work week was over. What was left of your paycheck was deposited after taxes

You’d put in your time, nose to the grindstone, been humiliated by a co-worker, and during the drive home been given the bird by an angry woman in glasses

But the big game was tomorrow and the six pack was cooling under ten pounds of ice

The same ice used on the bag of shrimp you’d found at a very good price

And just when it seemed like the weekend might end on a high note, you scrolled through the messages on your phone

The one that caught your eye was from your TV provider stating the conglomerate owning the sports channels was dropping your provider for reasons unknown

It seems the boys in the boardroom all decided that money alone wasn’t enough, overshadowed by their unquenchable thirst for power

The sports network wanted it all. They’d already taken the gutless conferences hostage with staggered start times now completing the monopoly not caring who they devour

Raise the price charged to the competing provider who were stealing customers by offering better technology and viewing results

And have their own networks talking heads promote their ever spirialing greed while the bill paying customers have to swallow the insults

You’ve been loyal to your own provider and watched as it raised it rates every year

Justified by adding four DIY channels and three more dedicated to alternative lifestyles and the queer

No, you didn’t want the ability to watch NE Montana Technical Institute play women’s volleyball

And you didn’t want to be caught in the middle of the three piece suit boardroom brawl

Life was simple when the game was on one of three channels and was broadcast for free

Now for the price of a monthly utility bill you get a watch a three-hour commercial fest diluted by reviews and one idiot referee

One look at the list of commercials from the wealthiest corporations on the planet

And one might figure the TV providers could broadcast for free, charge these lucrative corporations for the airtime and could still make out like a bandit

But suddenly you are rapidly scrolling for alternative provider plans just to see the game

All you wanted was to kickback for a while but here you sit like a plucked chicken waiting for the flame

The Rage of Self Hatred

Recently a television ad aired showing a young, blue-eyed, blond actress sporting a pair of tight- fitting jeans

Immediate uproar was heard from the leftist crowd as they felt this particular advertisement demeans

The actress didn’t accentuate multicolored hair, excessive tattoos or piercings and wasn’t a minority

Perhaps in real life she stayed in shape as part of her regiment as her looks and body type became her own priority

The company had their choice of people to wear their jeans and drive away in a super car

But hiring a woke person to sell product was attempted by a large beer company in an ad crusade that was quite bizarre

Maybe the Madison Avenue execs are starting to turn the corner with their new campaigns

The bottom line is why they exist and profit generated by their one minute spots keeps fuel in the company’s planes

So the internet has to stir the hatred. This fascist person is selling the Nazi ideal

The self loathing peaks and blood pressure rises when the actress slides behind the wheel and shows her backside to the audience as the tires peel

This person wasn’t an over-weight glutton dancing down the street selling a weight loss pill

Or a minority sniffing a laundry detergent as if it was her only thrill

While the phone pounds away that everyone has it all and all is sensational

But then reality clicks in at the hyper-mart. No cash, no credit, and petty theft occurs as the situation becomes confrontational

“It’s not fair,” the internet screams. All should be equal regardless of education, work ethic, and size of paycheck

So the seething hatred becomes violent. Fast food counters, c-store displays, storefronts, and innocent bystanders’ lives are easy to wreck

The rule of everyone equal has created a mental illness that has gotten out of hand

The continual drumbeat of white superiority and destruction of once peaceful cities all appear government planned

Import 14 million people to live on the dole. Increase the national debt until America is beyond broke

All to advance a policy of governmental control behind the disguise of being woke

They tried diluting an election, forced rapid inflation, spread a lab-grown disease and ordered questionable vaccines

So it’s hard to believe the hoopla being stirred by miserable leftists over a pair of jeans
